Classical Space and Relativistic Space-Time: Towards a Resonance-Based Interpretation

This paper explores the evolution of the concept of space in physics, from Newton’s absolute and immutable framework to Einstein’s dynamic, relational space-time. While both perspectives rely on geometric paradigms, a new step is proposed within R-theory: space and time as emergent resonance patterns arising from interference in the coherent zero field. Drawing on natural analogies such as cymatics, holographic lattices, and tetrahedral structures, the paper presents resonance and interference as the generative principles of spatial order. In this view, geometry is not the backdrop of reality but the expression of resonant interactions. This reinterpretation unifies classical and relativistic insights into a resonance-based paradigm where reality is understood as patterns of coherence and phase within the zero field.
